How to back up Airtable with a personal access token

Written by ProBackup
Updated today

By default, ProBackup connects to your Airtable account via OAuth. If you prefer, you can also set up your backup using a personal access token instead.

Step 1: Create a personal access token

  • Click Create token.

  • Enter a name for your token (e.g. "ProBackup").

  • Click + Add a scope and select the required scopes. Here is the full list of scopes required for ProBackup:

  • Click + Add a base or + Add all resources to set the access level for your token. You can grant access to:

    • A single base

    • Multiple bases across different workspaces

    • All current and future bases in a workspace you own

  • Click Create token and copy the token value.

Note: Store your token securely. Airtable will only show it once.

Step 2: Share the token with ProBackup

Send the token to [email protected] via a secure link. We recommend using a service like onetimesecret.com to share it safely. Our team will configure the connection for you.
